Adjuvant chemoimmunotherapy following regional therapy for isolated recurrences of breast cancer (stage IV NED). 1979

A combination of 5-fluorouracil, Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, and BCG (FAC-BCG) was evaluated as adjuvant treatment in breast cancer patients following surgical excision and/or radiation of first site of recurrent disease. In a group of 68 patients treated with FAC-BCG, the estimated proportion remaining free of disease at 2 years from first recurrence was 69%, compared to 24% in 60 historical control patients (P less than 0.01). Estimated 2-year survival rate from first recurrence was 85% for the FAC-BCG patients and 78% for the controls (P = 0.07). This regimen has significantly prolonged the disease-free interval from the first recurrence, but additional follow-up is needed to determine its effect on long-term survival.
